  • Page 6: Rack Mounting

    The OMX-SW6x6 may be rackmounted in a standard 19” EIA rack assembly and includes rack “ears” at the ends of the front panel. The OMX-SW6x6 does not require spacing above or below the unit for ventilation. To rack mount the OMX-SW6x6, simply place the unit’s rack ears against the rack rails of the rack, and insert standard screws through each of the four corner holes in the rack ears.

    Recalling a Configuration 7.2.9 To recall a configuration, press the RCL button, followed by an input or an output button, marking the setup number. For example, press RCL followed by INPUT# 3 button to recall Setup # 3 from the internal non-volatile memory of the switcher. To abort an operation of the RCL button once it was pressed, press it again.

  • Page 10: Typical Applications

    This section describes typical applications. Basic Video-Audio Setup To setup the OMX-SW6x6, as the example in Figure 7 illustrates, do the following (as necessary): Connect all the video-audio sources to the video-audio inputs of the OMX-SW6x6. Connect all the video-audio acceptors to the video-audio outputs of the OMX-SW6x6.
  • Page 11: Component Switching Using Multiple Matrix Switchers

    Figure 7: Connecting the OMX-SW6x6 Component Switching using Multiple Matrix Switchers A commonly used video format is component video, and switching the three signals (components) simultaneously is sometimes a complicated task. Using several Matrix Switchers, however, this can be done very easily and efficiently. This is done by dedicating each switcher to a single component –...
  • Page 12: Taking Care Of Your Matrix Switcher

    TAKING CARE OF YOUR MATRIX SWITCHER Do not locate your Matrix Switcher in an environment where it is susceptible to dust or moisture. Both of these may damage the electronics, and cause erratic operation or failure. Do not locate your Matrix Switcher where temperature and humidity may be excessive.
  • Page 13: Audio Signal

    Problem Remedy Noise bars are "rolling" up Hum bars (ground loop) are caused by a difference in the ground potential or down in the output of any two or more devices connected to your signal path. This difference image is compensated by passing that voltage difference through any available interconnection, including your video cables.

    Switching Malfunctions Problem Remedy The switcher succeeds Malfunction in the particular source or cable assembly. in switching a number NOTE of sources then fails to The most common failure mode in transferring the signal of switch one. an audio source is a break in the connecting wire. Disconnect the source from a channel that is switching successfully and connect the suspect source to it.

O3 – O0 – “OUTPUT”. When switching via RS-232 or RS-485 (for instruction codes 1 and 2), the output to switch is set by these bits. Similarly, if switching is done via the machine’s keyboard, then these bits are set with the output number which was switched.
  • Page 16 NOTES ON THE ABOVE TABLE: NOTE 1 - When the master switcher is reset, (e.g. when it is turned on), the reset code is sent to the PC. If this code is sent to the switchers, it will reset according to the present power down settings. NOTE 2 - These are bi-directional definitions.
